Internship in Physics- Modeling and Simulation f​/m​/d

På ABB hjälper vi industrier att bli mer resurseffektiva och renare – och varje person här bidrar till resultaten. Du kommer att få möjlighet att leda, få stöd att växa och kunna vara stolt över den påverkan vi skapar tillsammans. Gå med oss och hjälp till att driva det som driver världen.

R&D Team Lead

We offer an internship position in the field of physics-based modeling and simulation of plasma dynamics in electrical arcs. You contribute to ongoing research projects involving the development, implementation, and validation of physical models for plasma-related phenomena relevant to ABB devices. You will work at the interface between physical modeling, numerical simulation, and experimental validation.

During the internship, you will be integrated into the Theoretical and Computational Methods Team, and you will have the opportunity to work closely with experienced researchers in an international group of experienced scientists and engineers, where you will be able to thrive.

The work model for the role is: #LI-Onsite

• Collaborate with researchers to assess, develop, and validate physics-based models for industrial applications.
• Review scientific literature and evaluate modeling approaches for the description of complex physical phenomena.
• Implement and validate selected models using commercial simulation software and in-house simulation tools.
• Contribute to simulation capability extensions through model development, numerical implementation, software coding, and documentation of results.

• Enrolled student in Physics, Engineering Physics, Computational Physics, or a related physics subject (advanced
  
  B.Sc. or M.Sc. level).
• Strong background in physics and numerical simulation of physical systems, interest in plasma physics.
• Good scientific programming skills (e.g., C++, Python, or similar).
• Experience with simulation software is beneficial; familiarity with commercial tools such as COMSOL, Ansys, or similar platforms, as well as open-source simulation frameworks, is an advantage.
• Curiosity, analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Good communication skills, both written and verbal; fluency in English.
• Availability for six months (flexible start date early 2027).

We empower you to take initiative, challenge ideas, and lead with confidence. You’ll grow through meaningful work, continuous learning, and support that’s tailored to your goals. Every idea you share and every action you take contributes to something bigger.

The Theoretical and Computational Methods Team at the Swiss ABB research center develops, maintains, and improves models and numerical tools describing physical phenomena relevant to ABB products and technologies. These are used to support the development of more efficient and sustainable next-generation products.

För att bygga en renare och smartare framtid krävs alla sorters människor: de nyfikna, de modiga och de kreativa. Därför välkomnar vi människor med alla bakgrunder och erfarenheter.
